The object ofmy invention is to provide a lip stick mold of very simple,durable and inexpensive construction; I

' More particularly, it is my object to pro- Y vide a .lip stick mold inwhich the lipstick may be molded complete with the cap on the end. i

In this connection, one special purpose of my present device is toprovide a mold made of a plurality of members adapted to be suittubularcap which then forms part of the mold, and which when thelip stick ispoured will contain one end of such stick, so that when the lip stick istaken from the moldit is ready for use. i

Still another object is to provide a mold, in which the respectivehalves are made of parts so constructed and connected together as toproperly provide for the making of the lip stick'point and to reduce thecostand number of operations in the making of the mold.

' With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in theconstruction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of my lipstick mold, whereby-the objects contemplated are attained, ashereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in myclaims,andillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: r Figure 1is a perspective view of a lip stick mold embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the mold with the respective halvesmoved apart to show their adjacent faces.

' Figure 3 is a vertical, transverse, sectional view taken on the line3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a detail, sectional view taken on the line 44 of, Figure 1.

Figure 5 is'a detail, sectional view similar to that of Figure 2,showing the lip stick in] the mold with the capthereon; and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the cap used with my mold and formingpart of the mold during the molding operation and part of the lip stickwhen the stick is completed.

Heretofore in molding lip sticks, it has been the practice to provide amold, such that special operations were required for 'making the beveledpoint or end of the lip stick. These'operations are eliminated where amold of the kind herein described is employed. 1 M lipstick mold is madein two. halves, which are respectively indicated at-A and'B in'Figure2.

In the form of the mold herein shown,

each half is made 'of threepieces'suitably' connected together. 1

Iwill first'describe the half A. This comprises the three partsindicated generally at C, D and El The'upper part has generally theshape of ablock, rectangular in cross section and substantially longerthan isqwide or high. The block G has in its upperfacc adjacent toits'inner sid'efan elongated rabbet indicated by the reference numeral103 tending downwardly from the central part of the rabbet- 1O at-theinner face of the block A is a groove 12' semi-ellipticalin horizontalsun cross section or=of any suitable shape for the particular lipsticktobe molded. Y i j Thegroove 12 is intended to receive the cap 14shown in Figure 6 and which willbe I hereinafter again referredto. Thegroove 12 extends from the rabbetlO to the lower edge of the block C. Atthe lower central part of the groove 12 is a deepened vertical recess 16to'receive the'rib 18 onth'e cap 14'. 1 v

Below the block G is the block D, the inner face of which registers withtheinner face of the block C as shown. The block D is preferably of thesame length as the block'C and is substantially wider'frointop to bottomas I shown in Figure 2.

' Theioute'r face of theblock D for the lower portion of its height isbeveled as at 2Q. The inner face of. the blockD is provided withavertical groove 22', which registers with-the groove .12 and is ofsemi-elliptical form with a long axis slightly less than that of the'groovej12, soias to leave a shoulderjat the capl may rest. i i Thelower block E hasan innerface, which block E 'is indicated at 24.1 Abovethe face upper end of the groove upon which the z.

In the actual use of the mold herein stick beveled to an edge,

24, the inner face of the block E is beveled as at 26 to correspond withthe beveled face 20.

The blocks C and D are connected together by centering pins 28 and bysuitable screws 30, arranged vertically as shown.

Theblocks D and E are secured together by suitable centering pins 32 andby screws 34.

Referring now to the mold half B, it will be noted that it consists ofthe three blocks F, G and H, similar in general constructlon andarrangement to the blocks C, D and E of the mold half A.

The block F has at its upper part in its inner face the rabbet 10asimilar'to the rabbet 10. At the lower, central part of the rabbet 10ais formed the downwardly extending groove 12a, similar to the groove 12,except ,thatthe groove 12a does not have the recess 16 or anycorresponding recess.

The block G is similar in structure to the block D and has the groove22a corresponding in construction and location and. arrangement to thegroove 22 in the block 1D.

The .block' H is similar in block E. r v

The block F of the mold half B has in its inner, face suitable holes 36spaced on opposite sides of the groove 12a adapted to receive thecentering pins 38 projecting from the inner face of the block C.

The cap 14 hereinbeforereferred to is in theform of a tube open at bothends, as illustrated for instance in Figure 5, and has in its sideopposite the one having the rib 18 the inward projection or tongue 40,thepurpose of which isto project into the lip stick for holding the caponthe lip stick.

described, the cap 14 is placed in the groove 12 with the rib 18received in the .recess 16.

Then the two mold halves are placed together, whereupon the'cap 14 willbe received in the grooves 12 and 12a and will rest on the shouldersformed at the upper ends of the grooves 22 and 22a, which are of suchsize that when them'aterial for making the lip stick is poured into theupper part of the mold, the lipstick will be. of substantially the samediameter throughout.

The material is placed in the recess formed by the rabbets 10 and 10aand is enclosed or is forced downwardly into the mold grooves 10, 10a,22 and 22a.

It is the custom to make the end as illustrated for instance in Figure5. V g

'A mold of this kind accomplishes that purpose and eliminatesthenecessity for giv ing this shape to the end of the lip stick afterthe molding operation has been com pletedh I structure to the 7 and H,the lower part of the mold is formed in such a way as to give the lipstick the structure.

The inside'of the rib 18 forms a groove or channel which receives thelip stick and thus serves to fasten the lip stick to the cap 14;. V

lip stick and also makes it convenient for supporting the cap 14 inposition, so that the material for making the lip stick canbe fedthrough it into the lower part of the mold.

I claim as my invention:

A mold for lip sticks or the like, compris ing mold members, each havingthree blocks successively connected together, the respec tive blockshaving their inner faces in the .same plane, the upper block having adownwardly projecting groove extending there-' from to the lower edge ofthe upper block, the central block having an aligned groove slightlysmaller than said first groove whereby to vform a supporting shoulder,the cen-.

' tral block having a beveled. outer face and the lower block having abeveled inner face, which fit together, so that the latter face formsthe lower part of the mold for providing a product with a beveled end,means.

for securing the blocks of each half together,

and means for centering the respective halves whereby when the halvesare placed together a mold cavity 1s formed for receiving a tubular capat the'upper part of such cavity and liit) resting on said shoulder forpermitting material to be fed through the cap into the lower part of themold cavity.
